An ode to global light festivals and natural spectacles around the world, the Festival of Lights CAL designed by Scheepjes Designer Collective member Jessica Wifall is Scheepjes’ official Autumn/Winter Crochet-A-Long for 2024.

As each motif is made, immerse yourself in vibrant hues inspired by the world’s most mesmerising light and colour displays - hot air balloons, Northern Lights, fireworks and light trails. Made using luxurious fibres - an Extra Fine Merino Wool blend or GOTS-certifed Organic Cotton yarn, this dazzling project will add a luminous touch to your home during the depths of winter darkness.
